Small-scale effects of underwater bubble clouds on ocean reflectance: 3-D modeling results.
We examined the effect of individual bubble clouds on remote-sensing reflectance of the ocean with a 3-D Monte Carlo model of radiative transfer. The concentrations and size distribution of bubbles were defined based on acoustical measurements of bubbles in the surface ocean. The light scattering properties of bubbles for various void fractions were calculated using Mie scattering theory. We sh...
متن کاملOcean Variability Effects on Underwater Acoustic Communications
Several studies have been conducted in recent years that show correlation between high frequency acoustic fluctuations and environmental parameters. For example, effects of tidally driven temperature fluctuations on underwater coherent acoustic communications were studied for a carrier frequency of 18 kHz [1]. However, the relationship between environmental fluctuations and the performance of c...
متن کاملEffects of ocean thermocline variability on noncoherent underwater acoustic communications.
The performance of acoustic modems in the ocean is strongly affected by the ocean environment. A storm can drive up the ambient noise levels, eliminate a thermocline by wind mixing, and whip up violent waves and thereby break up the acoustic mirror formed by the ocean surface. The combined effects of these and other processes on modem performance are not well understood. The authors have been c...
متن کاملWave Induced Bubble Clouds and their Effect on Radiance in the Upper Ocean
A goal of this project is to measure wave induced bubble clouds and their effect on radiance in the upper ocean and to address the fact that despite the fundamental importance of optical backscatter in the ocean it is still not possible to explain more than 5 to 10 percent of the particulate backscattering in the ocean based on known constituents even during periods with no active wave breaking...
